naval squadron
Fleet battle unit
A naval squadron is a formation of warships operating together under a single commander, typically smaller than a fleet but larger than a division.
The term applies to various groupings depending on navy and era—sometimes a few destroyers, sometimes a mixed force of cruisers and support vessels.
The squadron patrolled the eastern Mediterranean.
